FAQ / policies
when will my pottery be ready [?!]
it takes 4-6 weeks to move pots through the firing process. we’ll give you a card at the end of class with an estimated date for pick-up + our contact info. feel free to reach on or after the date to schedule a pick-up.
don’t wait to pick up your pots!
we’ll keep your pottery for 30 days but can’t hold them for longer.
CANCELLATIONS
this is a small studio, so every seat is important to us! refunds are available if cancellations are requested up to 48 hours before class. rescheduling is always possible.
remember, you’re paying for our time and skill; a non-tangible, if you will. refunds are not available for finished classes unless the weather clears us out for the day or we get clay in your eye (certainly possible but not likely)
COURSES AND MULTI-DAY EVENTS:
pro-rated refunds are available in the case of medical/family/life emergencies.
in the case of medical cancellations, just talk to us, no need to bring a doctor’s note (i can’t believe i have to say that but pls it’s ok i believe you and i hope that helps heal you)
ONE-TIME CLASSES + WORKSHOPS
single classes are meant to be an ~experience~ where we set aside time and materials for you to explore and create with. there is no guarantee your pieces will be make through the process in one piece (it is always a miracle) and loss does occur.
one-time classes are not about the finished object — it’s about slowing down, spending time with nature, and enjoying the people in our lives, as they are in the present moment.
which brings us to the 🔴DIRTY DISCLAIMER🔴
the fail rate in ceramics is high! while we can do our best to mend or save pottery, this is a natural material with natural tendencies, and there is always a chance that your pots don’t make it through the process.
we encourage you to come back for a second, third or even fourth class if you find the challenge of making pots as deeply satisfying for the spirit as we do.
email, text, or call with any questions at all!

frequently asked
okay so what do you mean outdoors?
it means watch your step and come prepared for a preserved biosphere in the middle of the city.
dirty lizard studio is a certified wildlife habitat, complete with the birds, reptiles, plants, fruit trees, a watering hole, etc.
we have fans and plenty of shade keeps it cool! heat is, of course, a factor, but we have lots of trees surrounding us, so temps are cooler than you might expect (usually about 5-10 degrees cooler than on the street).
yes, there are mosquitos. we’ve got a few types of bug spray available in case you need it and suggest wearing long pants and closed-toe shoes for the best experience.
